**[00:01] Fushiguro**
Under Jujutsu regulations, Itadori Yuji,
**[00:05] Fushiguro**
I will exorcise you as a curse!
**[00:09] Yuji**
Wait, really, I'm just fine!
**[00:11] Yuji**
More importantly, you and I
are both pretty beat up.
**[00:14] Yuji**
Let's get to a hospital.
**[00:16] Fushiguro**
* I can't tell if the one speaking right now*
* is Itadori or the cursed object...*
**[00:21] Fushiguro**
*Damn it! What should I do?!*
**[00:23] Gojo**
What's the situation?
**[00:26] Fushiguro**
Gojo-sensei?! Why are you here?
**[00:28] Gojo**
Hey.
**[00:30] Gojo**
I wasn't planning on coming,
**[00:32] Gojo**
but man, you're roughed up.
**[00:34] Gojo**
I should show the second-years.
**[00:37] Gojo**
Face this way.
**[00:38] Gojo**
The higher-ups wouldn't shut up with a
special-grade cursed object gone missing.
**[00:43] Gojo**
So I stopped by while
doing some sightseeing.
**[00:46] Gojo**
So, did you find it?
**[00:49] Yuji**
Um...
**[00:51] Yuji**
Sorry, but I ate it.
**[00:56] Gojo**
For real?
**[00:56] Fushi/Yuji**
For real.
**[01:08] Gojo**
Damn, it really did combine with you.
**[01:10] Gojo**
That's hilarious.
**[01:11] Gojo**
Anything off with your body?
**[01:13] Yuji**
Not particularly.
**[01:14] Gojo**
Can you swap out with Sukuna?
**[01:16] Yuji**
Sukuna?
**[01:17] Gojo**
The curse you ate.
**[01:19] Yuji**
Oh... Yeah, I think I can do that.
**[01:23] Gojo**
Then give us ten seconds.
**[01:24] Gojo**
Once ten seconds are up, come back to us.
**[01:27] Yuji**
But...
**[01:28] Gojo**
Don't worry, I'm the strongest.
**[01:32] Gojo**
Megumi, hold on to this.
**[01:35] Fushiguro**
What is it?
**[01:36] Gojo**
Kikufuku from Kikusuian.
**[01:38] Mochiwrapper**
Kikufuku
**[01:38] Gojo**
It's Sendai's specialty, and it's super good.
**[01:40] Gojo**
I recommend the zunda and cream flavor.
**[01:43] Fushiguro**
*This guy actually went and bought souvenirs!*
**[01:45] Fushiguro**
*When people were out here dying!*
**[01:47] Gojo**
It's not a souvenir.
**[01:48] Gojo**
I'm going to eat it on the bullet train home.
**[01:52] Fushiguro**
Behind you!
**[01:52] Gojo**
Kikufuku's not like other souvenirs...
**[02:04] Gojo**
And the whipped cream
inside is simply exquisite...
**[02:14] Gojo**
My student's watching,
**[02:16] Gojo**
so I'm going to show off a little.
**[02:22] Sukuna**
*He's unbelievably fast?*
**[02:24] Sukuna**
*No, that's not it...*
**[02:31] Sukuna**
For crying out loud...
**[02:33] Sukuna**
You jujutsu sorcerers are always trouble,
**[02:36] Sukuna**
no matter what the era!
**[02:46] Sukuna**
Though that doesn't mean much to me.
**[02:51] Gojo**
Seven...
**[02:52] Gojo**
Eight...
**[02:53] Gojo**
Nine...
**[02:54] Gojo**
Should be time.
**[02:58] Sukuna**
*Damn it... Again?*
**[03:00] Sukuna**
*I can't take over.*
**[03:02] Sukuna**
*Who the hell is this... Itadori... brat?*
**[03:09] Yuji**
Oh, was everything okay?
**[03:11] Gojo**
I'm shocked.
**[03:13] Gojo**
You really can control it.
**[03:15] Yuji**
He's kind of annoying, though.
**[03:17] Yuji**
I can hear his voice.
**[03:19] Gojo**
It's a miracle that's all he's doing.
**[03:30] Fushiguro**
What did you do?
**[03:31] Gojo**
Knocked him out.
**[03:34] Gojo**
If he isn't possessed by
Sukuna when he wakes up,
**[03:38] Gojo**
he might have potential as a vessel.
**[03:41] Gojo**
Now, I have a question for you.
**[03:43] Gojo**
What should we do with him?
**[03:48] Fushiguro**
Even if he is a vessel,
**[03:50] Fushiguro**
jujutsu regulations demand
Itadori be executed.
**[03:54] Fushiguro**
However...
**[03:55] Fushiguro**
I don't want to let him die.
**[03:58] Gojo**
Your personal feelings?
**[04:00] Fushiguro**
Yes. Please do something about this.
**[04:04] Gojo**
Now it's a request from a precious student.
**[04:07] Gojo**
Leave it to me!
**[04:09] Gojo**
With that, allow me to say it once more.
**[04:11] Gojo**
You're being executed.
**[04:14] Yuji**
The recap and current
events don't line up, though.
**[04:17] Gojo**
Hey, I did my best.
**[04:19] Gojo**
The execution's still on,
but I got your sentence suspended.
**[04:23] Yuji**
Suspended?
**[04:25] Yuji**
So you're not killing me right away?
**[04:27] Gojo**
Yup.
**[04:28] Gojo**
I'll explain from the top.
**[04:30] Gojo**
This is the same as the cursed object you ate.
**[04:33] Gojo**
There are twenty in total.
**[04:35] Gojo**
We possess six of them.
**[04:38] Yuji**
Twenty?
**[04:39] Yuji**
Oh, each finger and toe?
**[04:40] Gojo**
No, Sukuna has four arms.
**[04:51] Gojo**
As you can see, we can't destroy them.
**[04:53] Gojo**
The curse is just that powerful.
**[04:55] Gojo**
The curse grows stronger by the day,
**[04:58] Gojo**
and the seals of modern-day
jujutsu sorcerers can't keep up.
**[05:01] Gojo**
That's where you come in.
**[05:03] Gojo**
When you die, the curse
inside you will die, as well.
**[05:08] Gojo**
Our elders are cowards, you know.
**[05:10] Gojo**
They're demanding we kill you right away.
**[05:14] Gojo**
But that would be a waste, wouldn't it?
**[05:16] Yuji**
A waste?
**[05:18] Gojo**
There's no guarantee another vessel capable
of handling Sukuna will ever be born again.
**[05:22] Gojo**
So this is what I proposed:
**[05:26] Gojo**
If we're going to kill you anyway,
**[05:27] Gojo**
why not kill you after you've
absorbed all of Sukuna?
**[05:32] Gojo**
The higher-ups agreed.
**[05:33] Gojo**
So now you have two options before you.
**[05:37] Gojo**
You can die right now,
**[05:39] Gojo**
or you can find all the parts of Sukuna
**[05:41] Gojo**
and die after you've absorbed them.

**[07:25] Sasaki**
Itadori.
**[07:28] Yuji**
How's Iguchi-senpai doing?
**[07:33] Sasaki**
The doctors say he's fine,
**[07:37] Sasaki**
but he hasn't regained consciousness.
**[07:40] Sasaki**
It's all my fault.
**[07:42] Sasaki**
If I hadn't asked him to come
to the school that night...
**[07:49] Sasaki**
I know you won't believe this,
**[07:52] Sasaki**
but this weird monster attacked us,
**[07:55] Sasaki**
and I was captured, too.
**[07:57] Yuji**
I believe you.
**[07:59] Yuji**
Those weren't monsters. They were curses.
**[08:05] Yuji**
That finger was a special-grade cursed object.
**[08:08] Yuji**
It had the power to draw other
curses to it and make them stronger.
**[08:12] Yuji**
So it wasn't your fault.
**[08:15] Yuji**
It was mine for picking it up.
**[08:20] Yuji**
Sorry.
**[08:22] Yuji**
It'll be all right, though.
**[08:23] Yuji**
Someone capable of fixing
Iguchi-senpai will be here tomorrow.
**[08:27] Sasaki**
Itadori?
**[08:29] Yuji**
Sorry, Senpai.
**[08:30] Yuji**
There's somewhere I need to go.
**[08:35] Yuji**
Bye-bye.
**[08:45] Gojo**
Who passed away?
**[08:47] Yuji**
My grandpa. Although he
was like a father to me.
**[08:50] Gojo**
I see. Sorry it happened at a time like that.
**[08:56] Gojo**
So have you decided what you want to do?
**[09:01] Yuji**
Are casualties like these
from curses pretty common?
**[09:05] Gojo**
This one was a rather exceptional case,
**[09:08] Gojo**
but in terms of the damage,
it happens all the time.
**[09:11] Gojo**
It's a good night when someone dies
a normal death after encountering a curse.
**[09:18] Gojo**
Finding a body that's all torn apart
is on the better end of the outcomes.
**[09:28] Gojo**
If you plan to hunt down Sukuna,
you're going to witness some gruesome scenes,
**[09:34] Gojo**
and I can't guarantee you
won't end up that way yourself.
**[09:38] Gojo**
So choose your hell.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Grandpa**
You're a strong kid, so help others.
**[09:59] Yuji**
If all the parts of Sukuna were gone,
**[10:02] Yuji**
would there be fewer people
who get harmed by curses?
**[10:10] Gojo**
Of course.
**[10:19] Yuji**
Do you still have that finger?
**[10:26] Yuji**
Looking at it again, it's pretty disgusting.
**[10:37] Gojo**
* Well, that's the second one.*
* One tenth of the whole.*
**[10:41] Gojo**
*What's going to happen?*
**[11:03] Yuji**
Gross!
**[11:04] Yuji**
So gross it's funny.
**[11:07] Gojo**
*That settles it.*
**[11:08] Gojo**
*It's not just a physical tolerance.*
**[11:10] Gojo**
* He can control himself*
* against Sukuna without issue.*
**[11:13] Gojo**
* We haven't seen someone with*
* talent like that in a thousand years.*
**[11:17] Yuji**
Something wrong?
**[11:18] Gojo**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[11:20] Gojo**
I take it this means you've
steeled your resolve?
**[11:26] Yuji**
Not at all.
**[11:27] Yuji**
I'm still wondering why
I have to be executed.
**[11:30] Yuji**
But I can't just do nothing about the curse.
**[11:34] Yuji**
That last request is gonna be a pain in my ass.
**[11:39] Yuji**
I'll eat every part of Sukuna.
I don't care what happens from there.
**[11:43] Yuji**
I've already decided how I'm going to die.
**[11:47] Gojo**
Nice! I like people like you.
**[11:51] Gojo**
Sounds like a fun hell awaits.
**[11:53] Yuji**
Make sure you're packed
by the end of the day.
**[11:55] ---**
We going somewhere?
**[11:57] Fushiguro**
Tokyo.
**[11:58] Yuji**
Fushiguro! You're looking good!
**[12:01] Fushiguro**
You think so after seeing this?
**[12:03] Fushiguro**
You're going to transfer to the same
school for jujutsu sorcerers I attend.
**[12:07] Yuji**
Huh?
**[12:09] Gojo**
Tokyo Jujustu High School.
**[12:13] Gojo**
By the way, you're the third first-year.
**[12:17] Yuji**
Only three?!
**[12:26] Yuji**
Okay, I'm heading out, Grandpa.
***SIGN*** Itadori Family Grave
**[12:34] Yuji**
This is really deep in the mountains!
**[12:36] Yuji**
Is this actually Tokyo?
**[12:38] Gojo**
Even Tokyo's like this on the outskirts.
**[12:41] Yuji**
Where's Fushiguro?
**[12:42] Gojo**
He's been treated by a sorcerer,
and now he's fast asleep.
**[12:46] Gojo**
Tokyo Jujustu High School.
***SIGN*** Tokyo Jujutsu High School
**[12:50] Gojo**
It's one of only two jujutsu
educational facilities.
**[12:55] Gojo**
On the surface, it's known
as a private religious school.
**[12:59] Gojo**
Many jujutsu sorcerers continue
to use it as a base after graduation,
**[13:04] Gojo**
so it's a pillar of the jujutsu community
**[13:06] Gojo**
not just in education, but for
support and mediation in missions.
**[13:11] Gojo**
Anyway, you're about to have
an interview with the principal.
**[13:14] Yuji**
The principal?
**[13:16] Gojo**
Screw it up and he could reject
your admission, so go all-out.
**[13:19] Yuji**
Huh?!
**[13:20] Yuji**
And what then? Immediate execution?!
**[13:23] Sukuna**
What?
**[13:24] Sukuna**
So you're not the boss?
**[13:28] Sukuna**
Any hierarchy other
than strength is worthless.
**[13:32] Yuji**
Sorry, Sensei.
**[13:34] Yuji**
He pops out sometimes.
**[13:35] Gojo**
What an amusing body you have now.
**[13:38] Sukuna**
I owe you a favor, you know.
**[13:39] Yuji**
Not again!
**[13:40] Sukuna**
Once I make this brat's body my own,
you'll be the first one I kill!
**[13:45] Gojo**
It's an honor to be targeted by Sukuna.
**[13:49] Yuji**
This guy's really that famous?
**[13:51] Gojo**
Ryomen Sukuna is a fierce imaginary
god with four arms and two faces.
**[13:57] Gojo**
But he's actually a human that really existed,
**[13:59] Gojo**
though it was over a thousand years ago.
**[14:03] Gojo**
In the golden age of jujutsu,
**[14:05] Gojo**
sorcerers gathered up all their might
to challenge him and failed.
**[14:09] Gojo**
Crowned with the title of Sukuna,
**[14:11] Gojo**
we couldn't even destroy his grave wax
**[14:14] Gojo**
as he traversed the ages
after death as a cursed object.
**[14:17] Gojo**
Without a doubt, he is the king of curses.
**[14:21] Yuji**
Who's stronger, you or him?
**[14:23] Gojo**
Well...
**[14:25] Gojo**
If Sukuna regained all of his power,
**[14:27] Gojo**
it might be a little draining.
**[14:29] Yuji**
Would you lose?
**[14:32] Gojo**
I'd win.
**[14:41] Yaga**
You're late, Satoru.
**[14:43] Yaga**
Eight minutes late.
**[14:46] Yaga**
Not enough to chastise you for,
**[14:48] Yaga**
but I know I told you to fix
your habit of being late.
**[14:52] Yuji**
*That old dude's making cute things!*
**[14:55] Gojo**
If it's not enough to chastise me for,
then don't chastise me.
**[14:59] Gojo**
You're just making dolls, anyway.
What's a measly eight minutes?
**[15:03] Gojo**
That's Principal Yaga Masamichi.
**[15:06] Yaga**
That's the boy?
**[15:08] Yuji**
Itadori Yuji!
**[15:09] Yuji**
I'm into girls like Jennifer Lawrence!
Pleasure to meet you!
**[15:12] Yaga**
What did you come here for?
**[15:16] Yuji**
An interview.
**[15:16] Yaga**
But why Jujutsu High?
**[15:19] Yuji**
To learn jujutsu?
**[15:21] Yaga**
I mean beyond that.
**[15:23] Yaga**
What do you hope to find once you've studied
curses and learned how to exorcise them?
**[15:30] Yuji**
Well, I mean... I'm going to
collect the fingers of Sukuna.
**[15:35] Yuji**
It's dangerous to just leave them as is.
**[15:37] Yaga**
Why?
**[15:40] Yaga**
People you'll never know
die every day due to crimes,
**[15:44] Yaga**
accidents, and diseases
in the natural course of life.
**[15:47] Gojo**
Here he goes again.
**[15:48] Yaga**
But you're telling me you can't overlook it
when that death is caused by a curse?
**[15:53] Yuji**
It was someone's dying wish.
**[15:55] Yuji**
I don't care about the details.
**[15:57] Yuji**
I just want to save people.
**[16:00] Yaga**
A dying wish?
**[16:02] Yaga**
So you're saying you'll fight against curses
because someone else told you to?
**[16:07] Yaga**
You fail.
**[16:14] Yuji**
Those weren't dolls?!
**[16:17] Yaga**
Cursed corpses. They're dolls.
**[16:20] Yaga**
Dolls infused with my curse.
**[16:29] Yuji**
*It's heavy!*
**[16:33] Yuji**
Is that really a doll?!
**[16:36] Yaga**
A person's true nature
reveals itself during a crisis.
**[16:40] Yaga**
I'll keep attacking you until
I get an acceptable answer.
**[16:44] Yuji**
Look, man, it wasn't just "someone else."
**[16:48] Yuji**
It was a family member's dying wish!
**[17:01] Yuji**
Shit, where is it?!
**[17:08] ---**
Ow...
**[17:09] Yaga**
A family member is still "someone else."
**[17:18] Yuji**
*Right, it's a doll.*
**[17:20] Yuji**
*It doesn't get hurt or frightened.*
**[17:22] Yaga**
A jujutsu sorcerer is
constantly facing death.
**[17:25] Yaga**
And not just their own death.
**[17:27] Yaga**
Sometimes you must ignore those murdered
by a curse to rend the flesh from it.
**[17:33] Yaga**
It's an unpleasant job.
**[17:35] Yaga**
You have to be a little crazy
and highly motivated to handle it.
**[17:39] Yaga**
You'd do that because
someone else told you to?
**[17:42] Yaga**
Don't make me laugh.
**[17:44] Yaga**
It'd be more believable if you told me you
were doing it to postpone your execution.
**[17:48] Yuji**
Screw you! I—
**[17:49] Yaga**
Are you going to blame your grandfather
when you're killed by a curse, too?
**[17:57] Yuji**
You say some pretty damn
harsh things, old man.
**[18:01] Yaga**
Education is making people realize things.
**[18:04] Yuji**
I'm not really...
**[18:14] Yaga**
It's not easy to imagine how
you'll feel on the verge of death.
**[18:19] Yaga**
However, I can say one thing for certain.
**[18:22] Yaga**
At the rate you're going, you could end
up cursing your beloved grandfather.
**[18:27] Yaga**
Jujutsu sorcerers never die without regret.
**[18:30] Yaga**
I'll ask you once more.
**[18:32] Yaga**
Why have you come here to Jujutsu High?
**[18:37] Yuji**
* I was always better than*
* most in sports and in fights.*
**[18:42] Yuji**
* But never once did I think,*
* "This is something only I can do."*
**[18:53] Yuji**
Consuming Sukuna is something only I can do.
**[18:57] Yuji**
If I managed to escape my death sentence
**[18:59] Yuji**
and ran away from this responsibility,
**[19:02] Yuji**
I'd be there eating food,
taking a bath, or reading manga,
**[19:07] Yuji**
and the moment I stopped to think, I'd go,
**[19:11] Yuji**
"Oh, I bet someone's dying because of
Sukuna right now," and become depressed.
**[19:16] Yuji**
"That doesn't involve me."
**[19:18] Yuji**
"It's not my fault."
**[19:20] Yuji**
You expect me to just tell myself that?
**[19:24] Yuji**
I refuse to do that.
**[19:27] Yuji**
I don't know how I'll feel when I'm dying,
**[19:30] Yuji**
but I don't want to regret the way I lived!
**[19:35] Yaga**
Satoru.
**[19:36] Yaga**
Show him to the dorm.
**[19:38] Yaga**
Explain the security and
everything else to him, too.
**[19:42] Yuji**
Huh?
**[19:44] Yaga**
You pass.
**[19:46] Yaga**
Welcome to Jujutsu High.
**[19:53] Yaga**
Oh, sorry.
**[19:54] Yaga**
I forgot to release the curse.
**[19:59] Yuji**
This place is huge!
**[20:01] Gojo**
All the second- and third-years
are out at the moment.
**[20:03] Yuji**
Hello!
**[20:04] Gojo**
But you'll meet them soon enough.
**[20:04] Yuji**
Is anybody home?
**[20:06] Gojo**
There aren't many of them.
**[20:07] Gojo**
But there's really no reason
for you to fight, too, is there?
**[20:11] Gojo**
Fushiguro and I could
retrieve Sukuna's fingers.
**[20:14] Gojo**
You could just wait here.
**[20:16] Yuji**
It's fine! I said I'd do it, and I'm doing it!
**[20:20] Yuji**
Though lazing around...
**[20:22] ---**
Hey.
**[20:24] Yuji**
...while Fushiguro came in all beaten up
to bring me a finger would be a funny sight.
**[20:27] Gojo**
That's true.
**[20:29] Gojo**
Well, I know there's no way
in hell you're not gonna fight.
**[20:34] Yuji**
Hey! You were testing me?!
**[20:37] Gojo**
If they were that easy to find,
we would've found them all already.
**[20:42] Gojo**
Some have a presence that's overwhelming.
**[20:44] Gojo**
Some keep very quiet.
**[20:46] Gojo**
Some have already been
absorbed by a cursed spirit.
**[20:49] Gojo**
There's nothing more troublesome
when it comes to searching for them.
**[20:54] Gojo**
But now we have you.
**[20:57] Gojo**
The Sukuna within you will tell us where
the fingers are to try to regain his power.
**[21:02] Gojo**
You're both vessel and locator,
**[21:05] Gojo**
our very own radar.
**[21:07] Gojo**
So we won't get anywhere
without you in the field.
**[21:10] Yuji**
You think he's going to be that nice?
**[21:13] Gojo**
I think we can come to a
win-win agreement there.
**[21:17] Fushiguro**
You're next door?
**[21:18] Yuji**
Oh, Fushiguro!
**[21:20] Yuji**
You look like you're doing well now.
**[21:21] Fushiguro**
There were plenty of other
empty rooms, weren't there?
**[21:24] Gojo**
But isn't livelier better?
**[21:26] Gojo**
I thought it'd be good for—
**[21:27] Fushiguro**
Classes and missions are enough.
**[21:29] Fushiguro**
This was an unwelcome favor.
**[21:31] Yuji**
Wow, it's so organized.
**[21:33] Fushiguro**
I just said you're unwelcome!
**[21:37] Gojo**
Well, it's all good.
**[21:39] Gojo**
More importantly, we're heading out tomorrow!
**[21:41] Gojo**
We're gonna go pick up the third first-year.
**[21:48] Station**
*The train bound for Tokyo is now arriving.*
**[21:52] Station**
*For your safety, please
stand behind the yellow line.*
**[21:57] Kugizaki**
It took four hours just
to get as far as Morioka.
**[22:00] Kugizaki**
I can finally kiss that
damn countryside goodbye.
**[22:07] Kugizaki**
Guess I'll be in Tokyo by the afternoon.
**[22:09] Kugizaki**
What should I do if I get scouted?
**[22:12] Kugizaki**
Like, by Stardust?
